A.J. Brown
Much was made of DK Metcalf and his muscular frame coming out of Ole Miss to the Seahawks. However, the Tennessee Titans grabbed their own gem out of Ole Miss in the second round, A.J. Brown. The rookie season had four catches for 124 yards and a touchdown in the playoff-clinching win over the Texans. Brown finished the regular season with 52 catches for 1,051 yards and eight touchdowns. Brown became the team’s first 1,000-yard receiver since tight end Delanie Walker (1,088) in 2015. Titansonline.com adds: Brown joined Isaac Curtis (1973), Willie Gault (1983) and Randy Moss (1998) as the only rookies with at least four touchdown receptions of 50 yards or more since 1970. Brown averaged a whopping 20.2 yards on his 52 catches during the regular season.
